Fear __ More


This week articles appeared on:

-genetically modified foods, specifically carrots that will provide more calcium in an attempt to alleviate bone diseases like osteoporosis. Simultaneously it was also revealed that calcium supplements may place women at a great risk for heart attacks.

-scientifically modified beings - First animal-human embryo trials to go ahead.

Research is now being conducted to codify fear. The work is attempting to identify the smell of fear ostensibly to use it as a weapon.

Recall that the Project for a New American Century, the neo-conservative think tank responsible for the Bush foreign policy agenda of war in the Middle East and many other similarly bad ideas, expressed an interest in creating weapons of this nature.

Pentagon Explores 'Human Fear' Chemicals; Scare-Sensors, 'Contagious' Stress in the Works?
Now, the US Army is trying to track down and harness people's smell of fear. The military has backed a study on the "Identification and Isolation of Human Alarm Pheromones," which "focused on the Preliminary Identification of Steroids of Interest in Human Fear Sweat." The so-called "skydiving protocol" was the researchers' method of choice.
The Project for a New American Century also proposed an army of chemically enhanced soldiers made to be oblivious to fear and wired into vast information grids to provide them with the information necessary to single handedly hold larger tracts of the battlefield.

These things are coming to fruition at a rapid pace.
